I'd like to add load balancing to this list. I have submitted an RFE for 
this a *long* time ago (http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/42), but 
unfortunately this got moved back from milestone to milestone. I don't 
actually believe much is missing in order to get this working, but I 
lack the insight to just roll it on my own.

Thanks,
       Stefan
